Promise of awesome racing on Lake Macquarie this weekend 4 February 2021
Both the brutal Adams 10s and the fast and furious Melges 24s will be racing for the chocolates on NSWs Lake Macquarie this weekend to excite the locals.
The NSW Melges 24 fleet will join the Adams 10s on New South Wales’ Lake Macquarie this coming weekend, February 6-9, and the two classes will share space and on-water race management for their respective three-day titles.
Nationals for both classes were scheduled this weekend but travel restrictions for interstate competitors put a halt to the Melges 24 2021 Australian Championship. Instead, they’ll run their NSW Championship only, off Lake Macquarie Yacht Club on the lake’s eastern shore, and a national title later in the year.
